All-new Srixon Q-Star ball: Tour performance with softer feel

Published

on

Srixon has unveiled the third generation of its Q-Star Tour golf ball which places emphasis on Tour performance with softer feel.

The latest Q-Star Tour ball from the company contains a FastLayer Core which features a gradual transition from soft inner core to firm outer edge. This FastLayer Core, which Srixon call their softest and largest yet, acts like a core with thousands of different layers, designed to provide golfers with both maximum distance and soft feel.

Additionally, like its predecessor, the new Q-Star Tour ball combines the brand’s Spin Skin technology with Slide-Ring Material (SeRM) – a urethane compound that coats the cover of every Q-Star Tour golf ball. The SeRM urethane cover digs deep into the grooves of both wedge and iron grooves in a design to improve friction at impact for ultimate spin and control.

Speaking on the new Q-Star Tour ball, Jeff Brunski, Vice President of Research and Development, stated

“The new Q-Star Tour is a tour-caliber golf ball, delivering a softer feel at impact. We’ve enhanced this generation with the new FastLayer Core to drive more ball speed and distance, while the SeRM urethane cover offers maximum spin and stopping power.”

The new addition from Srixon also includes a new side stamping design to help players with alignment, as well as a 338 Speed Dimple Pattern which bids to penetrate in all conditions, increasing lift and reducing drag for added distance.

The Srixon Q-Star Tour golf balls arrive in both Pure White and Tour Yellow and officially launch in North America on January 17, 2020, at a MAP of $32.99 per dozen.

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.

Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
